State Line snips Orion

TEMPERANCE — State Line trailed most of the night but came from behind to hold off Lake Orion Baptist in the quarterfinals of the Michigan Association of Christian Schools state tournament.

Mike Kerekes scored 29 points before fouling out and Jake Easter added 19 for the 19-7 Patriots. Larry Jones added 8 rebounds in the second half.

“We started off slow and were down (33-27) at halftime,” said coach Nathan Nash. “We struggled defensively. Easter stepped up and hit some big shots in the third quarter. He hit all five of our 3s in the second half.”
